On the way, Deng Fan found out that the woman's name was Du Xue and that she was working in a coffee shop in the city. Du Xue did not reveal any more information, and Deng Fan did not ask for more, since he did not even tell the other party his name, and simply did not have the qualifications to exchange any more information.
Du Xue's residence was on the second floor of a three-story apartment building. It was not far from the park where Deng Fan woke up. This apartment house had a long history. It looked a little old, and Deng Fan reckoned that the people who lived in this kind of apartment house would not be in a good financial condition. Upstairs, he entered a dimly lit corridor.
After inserting the key, the door quickly opened. Du Xue entered the house first, and asked Deng Fan to wait for her outside. It took a moment for the fluorescent lights to come on. After a burst of rustling sounds, she then heard Du Xue say "Please come in". Deng Fan thought that Du Xue must have been cleaning up the room just now. After hearing what was said, he took off his shoes, put on a pair of slippers placed at the entrance and entered the room.
With the help of fluorescent lights, the furnishings and layout of the room were obvious at a glance.
The house was not big, only having one room and one room, but living alone was more than enough. The curtains and tablecloths were arranged in red and white checked patterns. The carpet was red and the furniture was neatly arranged. There was also a faint perfume smell in the room. There was a panda puppet on the cabinet against the wall, indicating that it was a girl's room.
"Please take a seat."
Du Xue said as she pointed to a sofa against the wall. Deng Fan was relieved from the burden and slowly walked to the front of the sofa. He fell and sat down like a deflated ball.
"If you're tired, come and lie in my bed for a while. It's okay." Du Xue pointed to the bedroom inside.
"No need, I'll just lie here for a while." Deng Fan said as he laid down on the sofa without a care in the world.
However, the moment Deng Fan laid down, he immediately felt as if his head was hit by a fist, it was extremely painful. There were several men's magazines on a glass table beside the sofa.
"Turn on the TV for a while." Du Xue said as she turned on a television that had almost stopped producing ten years ago, and inside was a very popular variety show.
There was also a wine shelf in the living room. Deng Fan thought that this should belong to a man, there must have been a man staying here before. He could not help but think of the rough man who beat Du Xue, a sense of enmity suddenly welled up in her heart. He thought to himself: Maybe that man will come back here. Could it be that Du Xue wants me to be her bodyguard? The current me may not be able to defeat that man. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but clench my fists. Even though I felt full of power, I couldn't muster it up. It was as if I was afraid of encountering someone, especially someone with limbs.
"Was I a weak man before?" Deng Fan couldn't help but size up his body when he thought about it. He discovered that his body was strong and sturdy, and he didn't seem like someone weak at all!
"You still can't remember anything?" Du Xue suddenly asked.
Deng Fan was lost in thought so he couldn't hear clearly for a moment. He said somewhat embarrassedly: "What did you say just now?"
"I asked you if you remembered anything?"
"Oh, not yet."
Du Xue uttered a "oh" and did not speak further. After a while, she asked Deng Fan, "Do you want to take a bath?"
"Sure, don't you need to wash?"
"You wash first, I'll go find a clean set of clothes for you to change into." Du Xue said as she walked into the bedroom.
Sure enough, after a while, he took out a set of men's clothes. It was a short white shirt and a pair of jeans.
"I don't know if you're fit to wear it, but you should wear it first!" Du Xue said.
"Thank you." Deng Fan took the clothes and put it aside. He originally wanted to ask whose clothes it was, but in the end, he resisted the urge to ask.
After a while, Deng Fan stood up from the sofa and said: "Then I'll go take a bath first."
Du Xue made a sound of acknowledgement before saying, "You can simply turn on the water heater and use it. Let me help you wash the clothes you changed out of!"
"How can I accept this?"
"There's no washing machine here, so let women do laundry!" Du Xue said.
"Good …" "Alright …" Deng Fan felt very apologetic, and was even a little doubtful if he was dreaming. Otherwise, this woman was really too kind, too kind, so good that it would make people feel foolish.
After taking a hot bath, Deng Fan felt that his fatigue had been washed away, and his body and mind were relaxed.
"Is it done?" Seeing Deng Fan coming out from the bathroom, Du Xue asked, "Where are the clothes?"
"Oh, I left it on the balcony." Deng Fan said.
"Ok, I'll help you wash them later and hang them up."
"I really have to trouble you …"
Du Xue only smiled, then stood up and walked towards the balcony.
Before she washed the clothes, Du Xue habitually picked up the clothes and shook them a bit. Suddenly, she discovered that a coin had fallen out of her pockets.
Picking it up, he realized that the coin was no ordinary coin. It was a special coin. On one side was an angel, and on the other was a devil. This was originally Deng Fan's Lucky Coin, but he clearly couldn't remember if he had this special coin. Although he had reached his hand into his pockets to feel around, he didn't find the coin that was hidden inside his body.
Du Xue held this coin and looked at it carefully, then carefully put it into her own pocket.
As the night grew darker, the television in the hall was still on, but Deng Fan was not in the least bothered to watch it.
When Du Xue finished showering, she immediately asked her: "Miss Du, did you find anything under my clothes? "I've checked before, but I don't know if there's anything I haven't noticed."
Du Xue did not seem to have expected Deng Fan to ask such a question, and only said after a moment of silence: "Nothing … "Why do you ask?"
"If there isn't anything, then forget it. I just want to find something that might help me recover my memories." Deng Fan said with some disappointment.
"I see. But you really don't have anything in your clothes. I checked it." Du Xue said.
"I don't think so, I'm just asking." Deng Fan put on an indifferent expression.
"Are you hungry?" Du Xue suddenly asked.
Deng Fan couldn't help but rub his stomach, and said: "I'm really a little hungry."
"I'll go downstairs and buy some snacks for you to eat!"
"There's no need to spend it, I'm not really hungry."
"How can I sleep when I'm hungry!" Du Xue laughed and said, "It's alright, I don't lack this kind of money." With that, she opened the door and left without waiting for Deng Fan's reply.
Was there something wrong with this girl's head? I'm just a stranger, she doesn't even know my name, why is she being so nice to me? Or was she so good to everyone?
Deng Fan could not come to a conclusion no matter how he thought about it. He could not help but scratch his head with a face full of bewilderment.
Taking the chance while Du Xue was gone, Deng Fan looked around. He wanted to learn more about this woman from the things inside the room.
However, he was quickly disappointed because the furniture in the hall was sparse. The most conspicuous thing was the foreign liquor cabinet, but other than the wine, there were no women's items inside, so there was nothing worth noting. There were some basic magazines on the table, but they were also read by men, and it was unlikely that women would buy them.
Do you want to enter Du Xue's bedroom?
Deng Fan suddenly had the urge to explore further, but after thinking about it for a while, he dispelled this idea. He thought that it would be disrespectful to others if he did this, not to mention that it was a girl's room.
There must have been a man who lived here, at least a man who came here often. Who was this man?
Deng Fan did not know, but he hoped that it was not the man who beat Du Xue, because if it was like that, then it would cause a huge disturbance. All he wanted to do now was recover his memories and try not to get into any trouble before he did.
Not long after, Du Xue came back with a bag of snacks.
"I don't know what you like to eat. You bought some of each item. How about you try it?" Du Xue said as she opened the bag in front of Deng Fan.
Deng Fan did not know whether he had eaten dinner, but he was really hungry now, and seeing the alluring dessert in his bag that was almost filled with saliva, he did not know how to be picky. He said to Du Xue: "Then I will not be courteous." He then wolfed down the food, and in the blink of an eye, half of the pastries were gone.
"Is it delicious?" Du Xue asked.
"It's delicious!" Deng Fan raised his thumb, "When people are hungry, even if you feed their bones to them, they would nibble on them with great relish."
"Looks like you're really hungry." Du Xue laughed, "Then eat more, these are all yours."
After he finished eating, Deng Fan contentedly rubbed his stomach, and said to Du Xue: "Thank you for treating me to this meal, when I have enough money, I will definitely treat you to some delicious food."
"You still can't remember anything?" Du Xue asked.
Deng Fan could only shake his head.
"Then you'll have to stay here for the time being." Du Xue said.
"I think so, if you'll take me in."
"Why wouldn't I? Didn't I bring you back? Do you think I will chase you out? "
"That's not what I meant. I don't suspect you …" "In short, I thank you very much, and I …"
"Do you think I'm strange?"
"A bit." Deng Fan did not deny it.
"You don't think I should be so nice to you, do you?"
"You shouldn't have been so kind to me, because I might not be able to repay you."
"I don't need you to repay me. Perhaps I just want to find a reliable man!"
Hearing that, Deng Fan's heart trembled, as though he was struck in the chest by someone, he cautiously asked: "Do you think I am a reliable man?"
"At least you are more reliable than him."
"The man who hit you?"
Du Xue nodded.
"But I don't even know who I am!"
"At least you don't hit women, do you?"
"That's true …" Deng Fan could only nod his head, because he had a faint feeling that he had never hit a woman before.
Du Xue suddenly went silent and drooped her head, no one knew what she was thinking.
After a while, Deng Fan asked, "Is that man your boyfriend?"
"Yes, but he doesn't want me anymore." Du Xue said.
"Why?"
"Because he found a beautiful, rich woman."
"He abandoned you just because of that?"
"That woman is his superior, they somehow got together and even developed to the point of getting married."
"Is he planning to go away with that woman?"
Du Xue nodded, and said: "That woman is the daughter of a transnational corporation's boss, whoever marries her will skyrocket."
Deng Fan angrily pounded the table and said, "A man who relies on women to rise to the top is truly hopeless!" That woman is also not a good person, but she wants even such a trash of a man?
"I don't want to talk about him anymore." Du Xue said.
"You don't look sad. What a strong girl." Deng Fan could not help but praise him.
"He's not worth it." Du Xue said indifferently, "I will never be sad for him again."
"You're right, it's best to forget about scum like him as soon as possible." Deng Fan said.
Du Xue was silent again, her gaze drooped down slightly, and when she raised her eyes again, she suddenly saw the clock on the wall.
Deng Fan looked at the time and realized that it was almost midnight.
"You're a guest. How about you sleep in my room tonight, I'll go to my friends' place to sleep." Du Xue said.
"Why are you bothering your friends so late?" Deng Fan immediately felt that something was wrong, "I can sleep anywhere, but I don't need to sleep on the bed, this sofa is pretty good." He patted the sofa as he spoke.
